Could you build this?

No Pocket Replay involves selling a custom physical retro gaming handheld device alongside custom firmware and a cloud-sync sync subsystem.

What it would actually take: Building this requires consumer hardware engineering (custom PCB design, SoC selection, screen sourcing, casing tooling/manufacturing) alongside embedded Linux or RTOS firmware (e.g., retroarch/custom distribution). On the software side, it needs OTA update pipelines, wireless sync protocols, and cloud ROM storage infrastructure compliant with hardware device handshakes.
